At some point the hoardings on the roadsides started to fascinate
me and I began to imagine how I could utilise them in informing people
of my art. When I was invited to have an exhibition in Turku Art Museum,
I developed the idea further..
One company in this field believed that I was serious when I told them
that I wanted to buy an old hoarding, and so when a hoarding in Kerava
became to be pulled down, I got it as a present on the condition that
I do that work myself. From a passing car it is easy to see a hoarding
as an item but it is a different thing to stand in front of it with
the intention to pull it down and take it along. A crowbar and a saw
seem very inadequate in front of a seven-metre structure. And I had
decided to relocate that structure in front of Turku art museum! After
many phases the structure finally stood at the end of the most magnificent
street and hill view in Turku. It almost hided the museum from the approaching
walkers.
